Are there other legacy strips that are so opposite to their origins as Nancy? Modern Popeye to me seems pretty loyal to the original, to the point that it feels out of date. Apartment 3G was in the same department, just in a much sadder way.

ikanreed posted:Wait, I don't actually get what's different about Nancy. The old strip still seemed a bit like it was aimed at a saccharine tone. In a way yes, but on a far more anarchist note. Gilchrist Nancy is all about Christian mission, Viet Nam vets, dead country singers and boobs. I haven't seen Bushmiller strips about Spanish-American War veterans but I could be ignorant. Well, I guess this could be a Gilchrist cartoon. All it needs is some tears, a salutation to the vets and boobs.

Or just that the cartoon's name is Pros and Cons. Lyndon's patients too usually are not in need of a shrink but a good slap on the face, not because mental health problems are funny but because self-obsessed, deluded manchildren are funny.

Welp. Turns out that googling for 'Gay and her gang' is not a such good idea... but I like this Gladys Parker's style! Although it seems like she had to inject some innuendo into all of her comic strip names... flapper fanny, really???

Thumper posted:Are people usually nude in the public sauna in Finland? What's allowed? I can see the problem if everyone is nude and some people want to start wearing swimming suits, but if regular ones are allowed it doesn't seem like a bid deal. In swimming pools you have to go to showers (and optionally sauna) naked to ensure hygiene. In public saunas you have to be naked as well, except maybe a hat if you don't want to scorch your scalp. Not sure why anyone would want to go to sauna not naked, anyway... ick. Nenonen fucked around with this message at 22:54 on Feb 4, 2016 |

And there are plenty of legit reasons not to stay long at a gallery. Like maybe it was a delivery guy. But above all, if your lovely gallery has only three parking spots for visitors then you're so small and insignificant that there'd be nothing worth stealing from you. quote:Deep Dark Fears

How about a new strip? Last year Fingerpori artist Pertti Jarla started doing a weekly autobiographical strip Jäätävä Spede (translates literally as Freezing Pertti but also means Awkward rear end). Here's the first one: They are all in the same fold, very un-Fingerporiesque, just awkward or annoying observations from his own life. I like them.

Jäätävä Spede As is evident, this is the Finnish equivalent of Deep Dark Fears.

Jäätävä Spede There's no way the man in orange shirt isn't a a caricature of a friend of Jarla with the way he's drawn. In all likelihood the man in the flashback panel is also a caricature of a younger him. Some day I'm going to threaten Jarla with a dagger and make him confess.

I just love the elephant in King Aroo  Jäätävä Spede  Alcohol is taxed heavily in Finland like in Sweden and Norway, not as much as in Norway though, so Norwegians in the northern towns cross over to Finland. Finns meanwhile go to their cousins in Estonia which is only a day trip away and is an EU country. You can bring alcohol for your "own use", which is defined as 110 litres beer, 90 litres wine (60 litres can be champagne), 20 litres strong wines and 10 litres strong booze. But you can bend the limits eg. bringing more wine when not bringing any beer, also if you can prove that you are having a party such as a wedding then you can bring more. Contrast to non-EU country Russia from which you can bring 16 litres of beer, 4 litres wine, plus either 2 litres strong wines and champaigne or 1 litre vodka.

Jäätävä Spede The headline "suu vehnäselle" literally means eating a bun, it's a phrase for cheering up. The face in the title panel is a reference to an old biscuit logo which is another old phrase, "to smile like a Hanko biscuit".  "You will forget all the little nuisances if you get to taste our new cookies!" I also saw an old and not racist bank advertisement drawn by Tove.

She's not the CEO - the CEO's office is behind that door, so I guess she's a secretary or something. But the door is on the same wall as the window, so I guess the door is a death trap or it leads to a balcony.
